Aerope is bored, listless, dangerous and dreaming of power. She has a plan to kill her husband, the king, and sezie the throne of Mycenae for herself and her love - her slave Agape - but when two strangers arrive, Atreus and Thyestes, they change not only her life, but her all her plans in the most bloody way.

 

A king will lose his throne, a new House will arise bringing with it death and destruction, power and loss, but eventually justice and mercy, all through Aerope's fateful, dangerous final choice.
